Evening all, just a quick question please. Can the track tension be adjusted on the above tank that has metal tracks fitted?. If so a pictorial link would be great, I've drawn a blank on Google.

Many thanks Gary

I’m envious that you have one !!

Thanks for looking. Got it sorted out, doddle once the idler wheel was off.

"Can the track tension be adjusted on the [HengLong T72] that has metal tracks fitted?. If so a pictorial link would be great." I agree that a pictorial would help. And since you are now experienced... just a suggestion...

You found the answer, but yes. Personally I decided to fit an overbuild idler system to mine from RC Tank Legion, but looks like they are currently sold out: https://www.rctanklegion.com/products/r ... -brace-kit

You can see it installed in this pic and it does require some modifications to fit the "new" T-72 chassis. HL reworked the idler after getting quite a few reports of broken idlers on the T-90/T-72. Ignore the upper next to it as that is my Trumpeter upper I fitted to that lower.

Good point well made, Sir. I shall certainly do that with pleasure.

Many thanks for your efforts and time Tankme. I will do just that, and have made contact with TL for an update on stock levels.

Herman, I was gifted this from a friend. Ive subsequently found she needs some attention, and a cosmetic colour change from desert to green.
